I am on gnome 41+wayland and quite satisfied with fractional scaling. That is with 4k@1.5X+2560x1440@1X. Fractional scaling related issues don't seem to be more often than programs not supporting wayland and scaling at all (in which case those programs are slightly blurry but reasonable size). There are certain settings which need to be enabled, they might be enabled by default on some distros. I might not notice some of the issues due to bad scaling at 4k still being comparable to lower resolution screen, unless things break badly. Issues might be more obvious with ~2K at 1.25-1.5 scale. Things may be slightly simpler in single monitor setups without mixed scaling. How much of effort configuring stuff is acceptable depends on person and what kind of software they commonly use. * Gnome the desktop -> org.gnome.mutter/experimental-features "scale-monitor-framebuffer". Only integer scales available without this. Following assume that this is enabled. * gnome apps: work great out of the box * QT apps: Qt5 requires QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland environment variable to force wayland backend. Enabled by default in Qt6. Used to be quite bad ~1-2 years ago, but is now usable. * Firefox: MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 * chromium and electron: --ozone-platform=wayland seems fine for chrome, but some electron apps went crazy when moving between windows with different scale. Maybe the electron app bundled an older chrome version. No issues (except less sharp text) when not enabling the experimental wayland backend.
